What a Year!

Our year review in pictures…(summary in words to come later…way too long of a post!)
lots of snow in Feb/January
Bekah was in a couple of plays
We had our gigantic yard sale with the help of many friends!
We made butterflies to send to the Holocaust Museum in Texas.
Bekah and some friends made books for children for the local women’s shelter
Joshua, Greg, and PawPaw took a trip the the Nascar Museum Hall of Fame.
Bekah and I had a beautiful trip to Guatemala.
We were privileged to meet a bunch of other AGCI adoptive families in Nashville.
While there we were blessed to meet up once again with my internet bff’s :)

We joined in on It’s a Girl Thing Pad Parties and made a bunch of kits (and learned quite a bit about sewing in the process) They are now in Ethiopia!
We acquired a new pet—Steve the bearded dragon!
Bekah went to her first dance …with her date Tyson Bear.
Rach was in her first musical as Fauna the fairy in Sleeping Beauty.
Joined up with Dana and went to DC to walk for the Voiceless..
BIG DAY-- Ab became a U.S. citizen!
Ab also roller skated for the first time! (providing much humor for mom!)
Josh got 1st place in the state shooting match for the junior division!
Thanks for the Making a Difference Class—the kids made Christmas cards for the troops.
130 mosquito nets made their way to Grippes Farm in Zambia! (Thanks to you!)
We rang the bell at Wal-Mart and were blessed by the generosity and kindness of people.Looking forward to the pictures of 2011!!
